Welcome to Dogwood House, a brand new four bedroom, three and a half bath residence in downtown Hudson, designed in the silhouette of historic Hudson with bracketed Italianate cornices and bevel wood siding. Behind the classic facade is fully new high-end construction with designer finishes throughout, offering high ceilings, custom millwork, ample storage, and energy-efficient systems. A lower level with its own private entrance provides flexibility for a guest suite or in-law arrangement. The large, light-filled kitchen opens directly onto a deck overlooking a private, fenced backyard, for easy indoor-outdoor living. Behind the yard are two off street parking spaces.
A beautifully tiled mudroom-style foyer welcomes you with a wall of coat hooks and space for a bench and console table. The adjoining living room centers on an antique mantle with hand-painted tile, adding warmth and character. Oak hardwood floors run throughout the main level beneath nine-foot ceilings, with natural light from multiple exposures. The oversized kitchen has room for a crowd, with soapstone countertops, a Bertazzoni range, Fisher and Paykel refrigerator, antique island, and a large pantry. A dedicated laundry room sits just around the corner. Polished nickel and unlacquered brass finishes set an elevated tone throughout the home. A glass paned door leads to the deck for al fresco dining and relaxing, filling the kitchen with extra light and letting in a fresh breeze while you cook or gather at the table.
A custom, locally made oak stair rail leads to the second floor, where the primary suite fits a king bed beneath a lofted ceiling and includes dual walk-in closets and an ensuite bath with lovely tilework, marble countertops, and a private water closet. Two additional queen-sized bedrooms share a full bath and offer rooftop and treetop views over Hudson's historic district. The lower level has its own private entrance and opens to a finished walkout with a pea stone patio and yard. A full bath, media room, king-sized bedroom, and utility room make it ideal for an in-law, home office, or guest quarters. Outside, a newly planted Scarlet Fire Dogwood and Japanese maple frame the entry. The fenced and gated backyard is shaded by a century old Norway maple, joined by new dogwood and hydrangea plantings, bluestone pavers, and outdoor lighting that make the yard just as inviting after sunset. Off street parking for two vehicles is accessed through the gated backyard from the rear alley.
Every system is energy efficient: zoned, forced air heat and central air on a digital programmable thermostat, an Energy Star rated Navien tankless hot water system, Pella Lifestyle Series windows, and EPDM rubber roofing. Water, sewer, and all structural components are brand new and warrantied. Warren Street's restaurants and shops are less than a five minute walk from the front door, and the Amtrak Train Station is just 15 minutes by foot. Enjoy coffee or drinks at The Maker, shows at Basilica Hudson, and river views from Promenade Hill Park. Oakdale Lake is close by, with a short drive to Lake Taghkanic's sandy beach and area waterfalls, orchards, and farms. Dogwood House looks like it has stood here for a century and lives like it was finished yesterday, a warm and stately retreat just a few blocks from the hustle and bustle of Warren Street.
